Thanks, This is a good tutorial.  But i wonder how to add virtual function to a name space.
For instance to bind a macvlan interface to a name space, we can do like this

ip link set macvlan0 netns $PID

So instead of macvlan we should have a virtual function here. How we can write it here.?

Regards
Siraj

Hi,

 There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to use
 it
with lxc. Looking at the guide here;
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization/sect-Para-virtualized_Windows_Drivers_Guide-How_SR_IOV_Libvirt_Works.html

The virtual devices show as virtual pci cards. If you can 
map that to a device (ethN) on the host then you can assign them
to a network namespace or a container. 

 Let us know if it works. 

 Andy
